endorsements in politics

In politics, endorsements are public expressions of support from individuals or organizations for a candidate or party. They can come from prominent figures, community groups, or interest organizations, and are intended to signal credibility, align values, or sway voters. Endorsements often are used in campaigns to build momentum, show widespread backing, and influence public perception. While not guarantees of success, they can bolster a candidate’s reputation and credibility, helping to mobilize supporters and differentiate them from opponents.
